hi guys,
i need some help, and real fast, and i know this is the place to get it. i have a fujitsu lifebook e series laptop. i done a clean install of win 2000 on it. then decided i did'nt want 2000. so i blew the drive to put win 98se on it, i now i have run into a problem i have never seen before. oh by the way, i installed win 2000 under the nfts file system. but anyway, after i blew it, i went to format it, it tells me bad command. now, when i turn it on, it says, invalid command.com. huh? when i turn it back off, and then on again, it is there again. i can't get into the bios or nothing. it is automatically there when i turn it on. someone please help me here. i have done 1000s of systems, but have never ran across anything quite like this. thanks in advance for the help. if you need any further, please feel free to ask. i am needing to fix this pretty fast, so i will be checking back about every 15 to 30 min. thanks again DALE

If you have a boot/system disk (cd or floppy) boot from it and then try fdisking/formating.
